Mädchenlied

(Sung text for setting by J. Blumenthal)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI POR

In meinem Garten die Nelken
mit ihrem Purpurstern
müssen nun alle verwelken,
   denn du bist fern.

Auf meinem Herde die Flammen
die ich bewacht so gern,
sanken in Asche zusammen,
   denn du bist fern.

Die Welt ist mir verdorben,
mich grüßt nicht Blume nicht Stern,
mein Herz ist lange gestorben,
   denn du bist fern.

Note for stanza 1, line 4: in Stuckenschmidt's setting, "du, ach du" returns to the original "du" in the repetition.

Im' ghairdinse

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Blumenthal)

See original

Language: Irish (Gaelic) after the German (Deutsch)

Im' ghairdinse lus na gile
is réalta ina lár
i d'éagmais-se feofaidh uile
    mar níl tú ann.

Na lasracha 'tá sa tinteán
ró-aoibhinn bea iad tráth,
luaithreach is ea iad a ghrá geal
    mar níl tú ann.

Ní fhaighimse aon bhlas ar an saol
ní bheannaíonn réalt' dom ná bláth,
mo chroíse tá marbh is baol
    mar níl tú ann.
